Chapter 548 Unexpected Drowsiness

Joseph took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding to Chloe’s question. His gaze remained fixed on her, his dark eyes reflecting a mix of seriousness and determination. “Do you want to hear the truth?”

Chloe braced herself, already anticipating his response. Despite her worry, she was determined to know his honest thoughts.

“Yes, I do,” she affirmed, her voice unwavering, “I want to hear what you truly think.”

“Considering Xavia’s current physical condition and the fact that she’s already six months. pregnant, it’s impossible for her to undergo an abortion. If the child is indeed mine, I can’t turn my back on them. I come from a background where my parents did not shield me from hardships. I faced many struggles growing up. I don’t want my child to experience the same loneliness and neglect. I want to be a responsible father. Do you understand me, Chloe?”

Chloe’s frustration grew, feeling a sense of suffocation from Joseph’s response. “You claim to want to be responsible, but what about our children? How will they feel about this?”

“If we don’t reveal the truth to the child, they’ll never know.”

“Joseph Whitman!” Chloe’s anger boiled over, unable to contain her emotions any longer. Our children haven’t even been born yet, and you’re already planning to deceive them?!”

Her disappointment was palpable. Joseph’s cunning approach was directed at his own family.

Joseph rubbed his forehead in frustration. “Are you on your period? Why are you so irritable?” He missed the days when she was gentle and affectionate, always by his side, cooking for him, and eagerly seeking to please him like the dumbo she once was.

“Fine, I’m irritable! Happy now?” Chloe hung up the phone in anger. While she understood. his reasoning, it was still immensely frustrating from her point of view.
